- Pioneer of Pinon Mesa Died Today
One of the early settlers of the Pinon Mesa district, David Eachus, died this morning at 8:15 at the hospital where he was taken a few days ago for treatment.
Mr Eachus, who was 81 years old, came to the western slope in November, 1894 and established a cattle ranch on Pinon Mesa at that time an undeveloped and practically inaccessible section. He took part in the road building on Glade Park and in other work which helped to develop the community.
He had been ill since last January, spending the majority of the time in the city with his son, Archie. He returned to his home for a visit only a week ago, and was brought to Grand Junction to the hospital Wednesday.
Surviving are his widow, Mrs. Sarah Eachus, and his daughters, Mrs. Archie Lawson, Mrs. J. C. Roehms, Mrs. C. W. Mow, Glade Park, and his sons, Archie and Joseph, also of Glade Park. Three other children preceded him in death.
